About this tool

Every PDF carries hidden properties: the title your reader tab shows, the author field your client sees, the keywords search tools index. Exported files are full of placeholders like 'Microsoft Word - draft2' that look careless in professional settings. This editor opens the PDF in your browser with pdf-lib, lists the current Title, Author, Subject, Keywords and Creator values, and lets you overwrite any of them before saving a fresh copy. Your file never leaves this page — processing runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded and the data is dropped from memory when you close the tab. Job seekers cleaning a portfolio, agencies shipping client deliverables and anyone preparing files for archival will fix their document properties in under a minute.

FAQ

Does editing metadata change my PDF's content?

Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No — Your file never leaves this page — processing runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded and the data is dropped from memory when you close the tab.
Can I clear metadata completely?
Yes — blank fields are written as empty strings, and the Creator line can be reset too.
Which PDFs are supported?
Any unencrypted PDF; password-protected files must be unlocked first.
Why does metadata matter?
Reader tabs, search indexers and document systems all read these fields — clean metadata looks professional and is easier to find.
